Details are emerging on Vice President Mike Pence’s planned stop in Alaska, which will take place in two days as he travels to this month’s Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Pence is scheduled to arrive in Alaska on Monday, according to his office. Further word on his itinerary haven’t been released, but he is scheduled to inspect missile-defense installations in the Last Frontier.

The vice president’s trip will ultimately take him to Pyeongchang, South Korea, as head of the U.S. delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics set to start Friday.
